THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
The information that “your local church” censors is exactly The Truth that you need to know. They are no different than Facebook
and YouTube.
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“WE ARE JUST YOUR HUMBLE SERVANTS”
1) The totally deceptive jargon of control-hungry church rulers who are neither humble nor a servant; 2) A term repeatedly used to deceive and camouflage; 3) A “church leaders” exalted position!
“Obey...for we are just your humble servants representing Jesus!”
It is time to stop supporting wolves in sheep's clothing and be about your Father’s true business.
This and only this will restore the joy of
your salvation.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise.
Proverbs 6:6
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“When you give back to God a tenth, you will be blessed in many areas of your life.”
Biblical truth can only be correctly understood in a Biblical context! You don't change the Scripture to conform to your experience. You change your experience to conform to the Scriptures.
For example, the word "church" in the Bible never referred to a white building with a steeple that people go to once a week on Sunday morning and/or evening.
Likewise, the word "pastor" in the Bible never referred to the head of a Protestant "church" who wears a nice suit and tie, delivers a sermon, lives in a parsonage, and collects a salary. In fact, you would not have any idea what a "pastor" is in the Bible without examining all of the related Scriptures, for the word "pastor" only occurs once in most English versions of the New Testament without any mention of what it is.
You must see how Scripture relates to all other verses so that all the Scripture agrees without any contradictions. In the end, you may not like what the Scripture says, but are you willing to follow it?
Sadly, for many today, the answer is a resounding….”NO!”
If “God does not dwell in temples made by hands,” (Acts 17:24) why do people look for Him in local churches and synagogues?
